So, does anyone else get the feeling that the guy
who wrote up the first post in that Google search might not
like Interland
all that much? He's a little vague, but I kind of get that feeling...
Humm...
Maybe it's just me... hehehehe...

Ah yes, the lovely folks at interland. Our customers
have been
reporting the deceptive mailers from them as well. Here is
a nice
little story that came out about them the other
day:
-------------
Hackers Deface Thousands Of Domains Parked At
Verisign
http://www.newsbytes.com/news/02/175343.html
A
security breach Tuesday involving Verisign's Network Solutions unit
disrupted potentially thousands of domain customers, company officials
confirmed today.
Attackers compromised a system that hosted
thousands of "parked" domains
that had been registered through Network
Solutions and were still under
construction, according to a Verisign
representative.
Web surfers who typed in the address of any of the
affected domains were
sent to a black page which featured an image of a
mutilated rag doll and
the words, "Did Web Pirates domain your
domain?"
The system, which was running Microsoft's Internet Information
Server (IIS)
on Windows 2000, was operated by Atlanta-based hosting firm
Interland under
an outsourcing agreement, according to Verisign
spokesperson Pat Burns.
-------------
So it looks like verisign has
outsourced it's domain parking service to
interland.

is a little
interesting.
